Apparently the admin Black Kite, since he won't even allow mentions of what Zoe did to appear on the loving Talk page.

You know, the page used to discuss whether or not something should be included in an article. No one can discuss that since he keeps nuking the discussions and reverting any changes to the article he doesn't like.

except we are in the internet age, no longer the loving stone age. it no longer takes you laboriously unfurling a papyrus scroll, but just a mere click to see how these women feel. they are also not bizarre aliens whose feelings and motivations are absolutely inscrutable to westerners, they are average human beings who wryly, given their position, report on what is happening to them, poo poo which is so bad (and broadly known to be so bad) that western women couldn't even imagine it

my opinion based on professionally not-reading this thread is that zoe quinn probably did jerk stuff to her ex, dickheads blew it up into some vast journalist conspiracy for not reporting on relationship issues (esp. since the claim of nepotism involved a person who didn't review her game, didn't suggest it to any of the other reviewers, and entered a relationship/hosed later after she had the job and poo poo, even if you believe that chatlogs are proof enough the original claim was hilariously shaky at best), and people decided from those dickwads that people are just being lovely to women in videogame stuff (like usual), even though in this case she was indeed a jerk who was terrible to other feminist stuff

now zoe quinn is going to make mad bank off of being a terrible partner + people overreacting in a lovely way due to finally having a chance to sock it to them feminizts


also theres some indiegogo about ghost businesses somewhere in there, its not terribly interesting
You are actively and willfully ignoring the exact same websites involved took claims by women against men with far less evidence far more seriously. Like that's a huge part of it. As dumb as it is to call it a "conspiracy" there really was an organized and orchestrated attempt to censor criticism against Zoe and people involved with her. It actually happened. Calling it dumb doesn't really change that. People are upset about the doublestandards and hypocrisy because it was such a blatant in your face example of the things people have complained about for years that everyone told them was just strawmen or vocal minorities. Turns out actually no those people are the ones who control the journals and blogs that talk about this stuff and the critics were right all along.

thats not really an answer, tho


tuxedo catfish's point (i think) is that people dont pay that much attention because they don't think they can do anything meaningful about it, at least with games SJW's can not buy them, bitch on the internet, and convince mid-level studios to be a bit more progressive about poo poo

what tangible positive effect, in your opinion, will happen as a result donating to those causes

for the record its p hosed up what saudi arabia does due to the ruling parties' vast wealth, and Iran is a much better ally in the region than either saudi or Israel because of how much of their culture aligns with ours (not to mention we'd be far more influential with them in terms of ending poo poo policies)


just, there isn't much joe middle class is gonna be able to do about saudi arabia being horrible, nor much that will convince them that they can make a difference in the first place


you donate to the UNRWA or Medical Aid for Palestine, you can be p certain that a palestinian kid is gonna have some blankets or a shelter or school, what sort of benefit (any, really) could your orgs market to middle class westerners

Has anyone noticed how closely this crowd's actions mirror the extreme conservative movement over the past several years?

*Start with a collection of extreme views.

*Claim that everyone, however vaguely related to you, shares your exact beliefs. You are merely representative of a moral majority.

*Assume that everyone who disagrees with you, on even the most trivial point, is not just wrong, but a horrible person.

*Cloister yourself into an ever shrinking, ever more radical collection of media outlets.

*Through these media outlets, frame your claims and actions as presumptively correct. These conflicts are not up for debate. You are merely persecuted by barbarians at the gate.

*Did I mention acting persecuted? Act reeeeeaaaaaally loving persecuted. I can't stress this enough.

*Lie. Lie your rear end off. Make things up. Do they sound crazy? Make them crazier. The echo chamber you've cultivated will take it as gospel. Remember that thing about being persecuted? Make up stuff about that too. Lots of stuff.

*Present yourself to be helpless. The more vulnerable to aggression you present yourself to be, the more likely you will be viewed sympathetically. While you call people horrible things, accuse them of horrible things, and wish horrible things upon them publicly, never stop playing the victim. I'm sorry. I don't think I've stressed the persecution angle enough. Let me say it again. ACT AS IF YOU ARE BEING PERSECUTED. YOU ARE loving JOAN OF ARC UP IN THIS BITCH!

*Use communication with and through media as a force multiplier. Flood the public space with your viewpoint repeatedly. Don't stop posting. DEAR GOD, DON'T STOP POSTING! Making new accounts is easy. Motherfuckers be just giving email addresses away. Downvote everything you don't like. Upvote everything you agree with. Do this on your multiple accounts.

*Be a big loving hypocrite. Who cares? Some people for five minutes or so, that's who. The media outlets you don't have in your back pocket have the memory of goldfish. The media outlets you do have influence over will conveniently overlook your hypocrisy. If anyone tries to call you on anything, don't worry. See the previous bullet point.

*Make up buzzwords! It's fun! Take a word. Any word. Say...Socialist or hrm...Misogynist. Now, loudly as you can, repeatedly stress that this word is synonymous with the worst people on the planet. Don't forget to be shrill about it.

feminists are actually pretty good at twitter, and in particularly congratulate saudis as well as the egyptian anti-ISIS FEMEN twitter activists for it (who actually put their lives down on it, considering their menstruated and shat on a flag literally reading "allah" on it)

its mostly that nobody in the west, which so dearly claims to care, actually cares unless they are told to do so
